[QUOTE="nurseynicole, post: 1101750, member: 18349"] Black and Good we took the calf she had delivered and considering the calf still has been lethargic I don't think this was a case of wait and watch, It was 20 with snow on the ground also. I know that it was membranes that were hanging I am an OB nurse also and know exactly what they look like. We have had many calves and even had to assist with deliveries so were aren't completely blind. The calf is still pitifull this am, tried to bottle last night with no luck, so tubed again. Hate to tube but I know he won't make it without it. Should we put him out with her even though he can't even stand on his own yet?? Seems crazy to do so to me but I do understand getting him to mom asap too... He has stood twice now, but only when we help him to get up. I do think the banamine is a good idea and thanks for that! Wish I had some B12 to give him for a little boost too but I think I will try a little Karo on the bottle nipple and let him get a little sugar high too. Thank you all so much for the comments!
